Drake promises he isn't going anywhere.

On Tuesday, the 6 God kicked off his 16-date Australia and New Zealand trek with his first show in Perth. At reportedly the end of the concert, he appeared to bring up his beef with Kendrick Lamar.

“My name is Drake. I started in 2008, I came all the way from Toronto, Canada,” he said in a clip. “The year is now 2025, and Drizzy Drake is very much still alive.”

At the beginning of the show, Drake walked out with a bullet hole-filled hoodie with smoke coming out of his back. As the instrumental to "Over My Dead Body" played, it appeared to mean that he was still standing after his rap battle with Kendrick Lamar.

He also took to his Instagram Stories to share a couple of photos, one which shows him poolside before the concert and a second that shows him wearing a jacket of Al Pacino from Scarface.

Clips from fans have also been pouring in, showing Drizzy performing “Headlines,” “IDGAF,” “Rich Flex,” “Girls Want Girls,” “The Motto,” and more.

In addition to a two-night stint in Perth, Drake also has a four-night run in Melbourne, five nights in Sydney, and three nights in Brisbane, before he makes his way to Auckland, New Zealand.

According to Billboard, this is the OVO head’s first time in the region since his 2017 Boy Meets World Tour. His latest jaunt is named after his alter ego, Anita Max Wynn, whom he introduced in a Kick stream in December 2023. Inspired by Drake’s love for gambling, the name is a pun on the phrase, “I need a max win.”
